I will be selling The Who branded toilet paper for 9.99 a roll.
This is the biggest rip off. More like 1.49 if you ask me, and thats still high.

Since the Apple Ipod, and the HP Ipod are both the same pretty much… except for the HP label on the back… doesnt that mean these tatoos will fit on a regular apple 4g?

Out of the Known choices, The Who are a clean winner (At least I heard / know there Music).
Shame that someone couldn’t cut sheets for the 3G ‘Pods though :(
Just think a solid Black Background with a Red Circle & Star and White Man at the Center…. (Defacto Rush / 2112 Logo), Oh HELL YEAH BABY!!!

You guys need to read the whole article for $14.99 you get a pack of 10 so that is $1.49 a piece. Also you are not limited to the ones they have. You can make your own on the hp website just check out this one I did which I’m sure most of you wouldn’t mind sporting on your iPod.

I was at Fry’s Electronics (Sunnyvale, CA) yesterday and they already had them on the shelf. The packaging says it won’t leave any residue… and that it is water resistant and durable. It said you could use it with any printer, which seems odd… as I could see a lot of inkjet ink wearing off quickly.

Well, they say the estimated lifespan is one month.
I sure wish someone would create a 3G version. I’d love to make my own—put a picture of my cat, my favorite new artist, my girlfriend, the last place I went on vacation. . .
This could be FUN.

Nice idea! Everyone likes to customize their stuff and it’s cool that you can make your own or use on of the pre-made ones.
Yeah, with a little trial and error, I bet it’s fairly easy to adapt for a 3G.
Very cool indeed!

i think this would be a better idea if they were clings and not stickers. cuz… over time that #### won’t come off and it’ll just suck. you should see my gameboy back when they first came out - early 90s i think. that ##### has got so many “tats” as HP calls them that it’s there for life! shibby…

umm… I’m not sure what the big deal is about that.. I spent an hour measuring and cutting and made my own ipod cover layout. Basically all I need now is a piece of label paper(basically sticker paper), which I can also get. Print something on that paper and bam, I got me a home made personalized cover. I’m not paying money for something I can just as easily make myself with a tiny bit of brains and work. Just somethingelse for HP to get they greedy crap ### hands on. Couldn’t even let Apple stay Apple, had to get their hands into the money pool….

BTW people, its not that hard to make your own for the 4G. LCD is like 1 9/16” across and 1 5/16 high, the thumbwheel is like.. 1 9/16 across(same spacing as the LCD) and the LCD is like 3/8” up from the wheel. Just cut paper to wrap around(Like a xmas present) and make little holes for the rounded corners…. I’m not sure the difference on the 3G but sure its do-able yourself…

These things aren’t just stickers. They’re pretty high quality paper that will NOT leave a residue. I’ve tried a few on different friend’s ipods and they rock! The ability to make your own just makes it better.

caveat emptor
some of those tattoos do leave a sticky residue as you can see here
